Kim (couleuri) | 2 comments Hi !
I am Kim and I'm 17 years old. I love reading, writing, knitting and drawing. Everything that is creative ! My favorite books are ; Of Mice and Men, The Giver, The Book Thief and Snow Flower. Nice to meet you guys !


message 2352: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi, all. :) I'm Aza. I'm that one nerdy fangirl, who's lowkey a huge romantic, but not in the traditional way. I read a lot of paranormal romance, but I don't know where to find recommendations! So I looked through goodreads groups, and found this one. :)
I read Lora Leigh, Christine Feehan, G.A. Aiken, and Suzanne Wright mainly. Lots of dominant males, basically. xD

Danis  ❤️ MM (danisvendetta) I've a been a member for awhile now. But it looks like I forgot to post an intro. So sorry.

I'm Danis. I live in the Pacific Northwest of the US. Mid 40's. Workaholic. I read and hike for downtime. I read about 3 - 5 books a week. A combination horror/mystery/suspense/paranormal. I hate nonfiction.

Thanks for adding me.


message 2354: by Liane (new)

Liane Zane (lianezane) | 2 comments Hi! I'm an author who writes under the pen name Liane Zane, which is the ŷ profile under which I joined this group a while ago. I love reading romance, fantasy, and thrillers as my guilty-pleasure reads. (I read pretty diversely and also enjoy history and nonfiction.)

I joined mostly to see what other readers of those types of books are reading, hopefully to get some recommendations because I'm having a hard time finding books that appeal to me. (One of the reasons I keep writing my own.) While I love Ilona Andrews (her Hidden Legacy series is one of my favorites), I'm tired of first-person stories, especially those featuring a snarky, independent heroine. Not that I don't like first-person stories or can't appreciate snarky, independent heroines, but they all start to sound the same after a while.

I'll probably stick to reading digest emails of discussions, but I wanted to introduce myself.


message 2355: by Holli (new)

Holli Cox (hollijcox) Hi all, I'm Holli. I'm a big fan of the idea that the most important part of any story is the love story, but I've never been a reader of romance genre (except that time as a teenager when I unknowingly bought a bunch of smut from the library $1 sale and was horrified/entranced). I'm looking to broaden my reading diet and want to include romance novels, in all of its apparent varieties. My typical reading is fantasy and old literature.


message 2356: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Wigmore Holli, well you could just start with Sarah J Maas. She has a number of book series in the high fantasy genre with plenty of smut. :)


message 2357: by � Elle Jae � (last edited Mar 16, 2022 05:50PM) (new)

✧ Elle  Jae ✧ | 5 comments Hello! I'm so excited to be a part of this group! Warms my heart to find kindred spirits! I have loved paranormal romances since before I knew that's what they were called! My faves of late - Kresley Cole's IAD series (Dark Desires After Dusk is my fave... Cadeon + Holly) Dark Desires After Dusk-- Love the world she created! Recently read The Winter King The Winter King by CL Wilson and loved it. Prefer historical and third person (very weary of the 1st person snarky hero which are all starting to sound the same) so when I find a historical + paranormal romance told in the 3rd person, I'm super stoked. Nice to meet you all!

message 2361: by NotSoBooshie (new)

NotSoBooshie | 3 comments Hello all! I'm V. I haven't read a ton of romance, but I've been a lover of urban fantasy ever since I blitzed through the Dresden Files years ago. At the moment I am working on an urban fantasy story with some romcom elements, and thought I would swing by here to find some good reading recommendations for inspiration!

Hi Ilona I absolutely love kick-ass females who don't need saving but are sometimes nice enough to let the guys play hero, too.
Ilona Andrews, Nalini Singh and T. A write some awesome heroines who fit the bill. I'd love to swap lists.


message 2363: by Kubra (last edited Nov 02, 2022 08:29AM) (new)

message 2369: by Jen (new)

Jen Brady (jzibart) | 3 comments Hello everyone,

My name is Jen (will answer to Jennifer - do not call me Jenny). I have been an avid reader all of my life. I am located in Indiana and am an older adult.

I fell in love with Paranormal Romance back in the 1990's. I fell in love with Urban Fantasy just a few years later. In ~2016, I discovered Reverse Harem - and that has become my main genre.... but even in Reverse Harem, I prefer those in the UF / PNR subgenre's.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Also: Pamela, I wanted to talk to you about something - could you send me a message? I did not see a way to do so on your profile.

message 2372: by Ninde (new)

Ninde (nindeyeenvix) | 1 comments Hi I'm Nindë, I'm 34 and love to read almost any type of romance. I've enjoyed using ŷ as a place to keep track of what Ive read and what I want to read as I don't have a great memory for names. I thought I'd move on to joining a group and as paranormal romance was the first thing that really got me into reading this group seemed like a great idea! (⁠。⁠・⁠ω⁠・⁠。⁠)⁠ノ⁠♡


message 2373: by Andaria (new)

Andaria  Winged  Batur  (andariawinged-batur) | 3 comments Hi, I'm Reez

message 2374: by StarCrossedStacks (new)

I write reviews on ŷ, sometimes review ARCs, and post on my Bookstagram under the same handle as my ŷ!

I look so much forward to getting to know you all better!


message 2375: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Hi, I'm Fiona aka Titch (My dad used to call me it as I am the shortest of my siblings lol). I live in Cambridgeshire, UK with my husband and daughter (she's 25 and has special needs) and I am mum to 2 sons who live away.

I like reading anything as long as it holds my interest and gets my juices going in the reading department.

I found you by just looking at the popular groups on here and thought I'd jump on.

Any other questions you would like to know about me, just shout me xx


message 2376: by Kat (new)

Kat Valeria (kat_valeria) | 6 comments Hello! I'm Kat. I live in New Mexico, and am a fan of Paranormal/Sci-Fi/Fantasy (especially the Romance flavors).

I grew up on anime back before it was widely socially acceptable, watching Inu Yasha and Fushigi Yuugi and Sailor Moon. (I even used to write Inu Yasha fanfics decades ago, ahaha). I liked comics so much that I got a degree in Sequential Art (Comics & Storyboarding), with a minor in Creative Writing.

Favorite authors are too many to count, and change almost weekly?
Ilona Andrews always tops the list; I just like the way they write a lot.
Kresley Cole I love for her batsh*t insane main characters.
Jim Butcher... I just really love how he can bring me along, slowly building the story until, sure, it makes sense that someone's riding a zombie dinosaur in an epic battle.
Jennifer Estep, Jessie Mihalik, Kim Harrison... I'v enjoyed them all (though I need to do re-reads of basically everything).

I just published my first book, which is how I found this group (I was looking for groups to self-promo in) and I'm sad that I've missed out on ŷ groups until now. I was always just reading books on my own and maybe talking to friends I could convince to read the same books about it. ;_; Like it didn't even occur to me to seek out communities online??

Anyway, nice to meet you all!

message 2380: by Alicia (new)

Alicia Hollinger | 3 comments Hi I’m new here and to be honest, here to promote my screenplay QUANTUM DREAMS now available on Amazon. I’m not into vampires or werewolves (although I do like aliens lol.) I’m more into relationships between humans but in a sci-fi, futuristic or paranormal setting.


message 2381: by Clarissa (new)

Clarissa Pham (phamtasyartist) | 4 comments Hi! I'm Clarissa. I'm a 35 year old annotator with a passion for art. I mainly draw pinups of fantasy and comic book females. I also love cats, comic books, video games and reading. My husband and I are childfree with one furry husky and three cute kitties.

I really love The Hollows series by Kim Harrison and the Jane Yellowrock novels by Faith Hunter. I got into urban fantasy after reading the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong and the Mercy Thompson books by Patricia Briggs. I love books that focus on female leads primarily.

Hans | 2 comments Hello 👋
Trying to get back into reading, after a few year hiatus, as I enter my second half century.
I used to love China Mieville, Iain M Banks and Neil Gaiman in this group’s genres. Looking to try more romance and I’ve always had a fascination for vampires.
Recommendations welcome 🤗

message 2389: by Venus (new)

Venus Strollo | 3 comments Hello everybody! :))
My name is Venus and I'm from California, United States. Over the past year, I've linked my goodreads account to my kindle and have slowly entered all of the books I've read! I love all types of book genres including paranormal/historical/fantasy/contemporary romance, horror, adventure, and classics as well! I have been a fanfic writer for ten years mainly focusing on Attack on Titan (my favorite anime of all time!!) I'm also in the early stages of developing my first book, but due to Uni, I can't prioritize it like I want to! My favorite author at the moment is Opal Reyne. When I'm not reading or writing, I spent time rewatching animes like kamisama kiss and fruits basket as well as hanging out with my cat! It's nice to meet you all :))


message 2390: by Kristen (new)

Kristen Brennan Hi, Venus! It's nice to meet you :-). Writing a book sounds amazing, I wish you the best of luck. When your ready you should look for Beta Reader groups on GR, there are a few out there and you can get some free suggestions and editing from fellow book lovers.

Arielle Miller | 10 comments Hi all!!

Just joined this group and trying to catch up :)

I'm Arielle, an author and SAHM in Los Angeles. I recently published my first memoir! Very excited about that!

When I'm not reading and writing... I like to bake, hike, workout, go to see live music, spend time with my friends, family and dogs and travel.

I have been on a real autobiography kick these last few years (for obv reasons lol), but have been returning to my love of magical realism, classic fiction and looking to try out some less familiar genres like fantasy and romance!!

Excited to be part of this group. It looks like a lot of fun!

Arielle,

Don't fight your desire to write a Paranormal Romance or Urban Fantasy book. They are fun to write and everyone loves them!
